Job A executes, it creates several dsns and many of these dsns are empty. We have the RLSE parm coded however it doesn't seem release the unused space for the empty dsns. Is there a way of fixing this problem or a work around? We are running RELEASE z/OS 01.11.00 Thanks for your help in advance. --------------------------------------<unsnip>---------------------------------------- IIRC, the datasets must be OPEN'ed and CLOSE'd before the RELEASE function will work.
